Change is afoot at Bodywork Brooklyn! We’ll start out with a little break, coming back later in 2015 bigger and better than ever. Well, I will probably be smaller than I am at the moment, but I’ll have more to offer. Those who have seen me in recent months have likely noted my rapidly expanding belly area and wondered how long…

Easy Giving for Really Great Living
We’re already into Hanukkah! Mere days from the solstice! One week from Christmas! How’s that holiday shopping going? This year, give the gift of peace, an hour of quiet, the soothing of aches and pains, compassionate touch. Massage gift certificates are at the top of my holiday list this year. Are they on yours? Do you know somebody who could use…
The Good Person Massage Giveaway
As mentioned in my previous post, next week is EveryBody Deserves a Massage Week. It’s an event that’s been going on since 1995, with the dual purposes of telling people about the benefits of massage and bringing massage to more people. Thinking about the idea that every body deserves a massage gets me thinking about things like accessibility and…
Next Week: EveryBody Deserves a Massage!
Next week is EveryBody Deserves a Massage Week! Massage therapists across the country are pulling together to talk about the benefits of massage and to bring massage to more people. Because massage is great, and all bodies deserve it. In the spirit of accessibility and celebration of community embodied by this event, I’ll be doing 3 things. 1) Sliding…
For the Mamas
It’s May, you guys! 10 days until Mother’s Day, plenty of time to celebrate the mother figures in your life with the gift of massage. Some nurturing for the nurturers. It’s a natural fit. This month, I celebrate all the mamas out there with their kickers and screamers, the godmothers and aunties who may or may not be related by…
I wanna be your cupid
It’s no secret that I love Valentine’s Day and always have. It all started when I was little and my mom would make heart-shaped egg in a hole for breakfast. That little whole wheat sliced bread heart, kissed in butter in the cast iron pan, only came around once a year. At school, there was the exchange of cards and…
New Year’s Resolution, or Reason #527 that I Love Massage
I haven’t thought much about New Year’s Resolutions this year. They’ve just been appearing overnight as if rooted out by my subconscious, surfacing while I sleep. Two days in a row now, I’ve woken up with a little intention on my mind. Today’s was almost sweet in its simplicity: Do one thing at a time. Sounds so basic. And yet.…
5 Things You Can Do Instead of Leaving Me a Tip
Tipping is a hotly contested issue in massage therapy. Some massage therapists depend on gratuity to make ends meet. Some think tipping is altogether inappropriate for our profession. Others just find the whole thing awkward. Where do I fall? It depends on the setting. When visiting a spa spa, unless they have an actual no tipping policy, your therapist is…
A Little Rest
I fell asleep in yoga class today. Final savasana, hot room, rain pattering ever so gently outside. It had been kind of a tough class, one of those days where I was acutely aware of tension in the upper traps and some lower back stiffness, and working through and releasing shortened muscles was a challenge. I only slept for five…
It’s Pay what you Desire time! Sliding Scale massage at Sacred
Pay What You Desire week has arrived at Sacred once again. New classes, the triumphant return of some fabulous former teachers, all kinds of goodness, all pay what you want, what you can, what you desire. Inspired once again by Sacred’s offer of affordable access to feeling good, I’m offering massage on a sliding scale this Friday and Saturday, because you — yes you —…
